I am sooo frustrated!! I can't find a replacement switch for my e-power 18650. I ordered two of the 5v ones from Hoosiers only because I couldn't find anything else and they didn't fit. They almost fit but just a scootch too big. What gives??? Why is everyone out of stock on no longer carrying them?? Please someone tell me where to buy these........

My switch broke a few weeks ago, and decided to just try and fix it. I used this Pushbutton Switch - Red Micro the original hole in the body was the perfect size, no modification necessary.

this is exactly what i've been thinking about doing with mine.

i have two complete epwr 18650s, i don't care about the cone so just one, but no they aren't interchangeable. one was from hoosier, one from gotvapes. both switches are super happy flashy about the good batteries/atomizers/cartos or just refuse to work all together most of the time. I just keep them around as a backup

Those are the stores I bought mine from as well. Yes the switches have been nothing but trouble and all the paint is chipping on the battery case (I have had it less then a month). I love the way it hits, and the battery life, but that's the only thing I can say about them that doesn't have a cuss word in it.

At least they gave me a way to convince my husband that we had to buy our Chucks..

i hear yeah, i mean, it's a cheap 18650 pv, thats a strong point. got me into mods and all. But i used it for about 2 weeks before i just went ahead and got an omega. My paint was 75% gone within a week. I was at the beach the first week i had it so i had sand everywhere and it just made it look terrible. U should def try and replace the switch though like ouada said, keep it for a backup. I used my kinda working one for a few days when i lost the spring to my omega :p

setup10.11.11.jpg I had 1of 4 switches go bad but, I purchased it cheap knowing it was without warranty. I drilled it out and used a switch from radio shack. then filled it with hotglue to seal it :p I got all my e-powers from Hoosier on closeout. I just got one of the 5v switches and it toasted on first fire :-x, I have to say that Brent with hoosier (at least in my experience) has been a big help.
